Enjoyed Jens too, though the new songs sounded a bit... plodding? I never really warmed to Night Falls Over Kortedala and the new record sounds a bit of a "part 2" of that. That said, the last 30 mins dance party was immense. How good was Maple Leaves?

pretty much entirely agree (though re:manchester). While it was worth going to another city, and being pretty pricey it was totally worth it, but probably the worst time i've seen him.

black cab, maple leaves & pocketful of money just stood SO highly above everything else in the set, though that is coming from someone who thinks the first 2 records are the best indie/pop records i've ever heard

new songs just sounded like a less good Kortedala, which itself was a massive drop in quality from the first two (though i still quite enjoy it)

Jens was amazing though. I agree about the new songs sounding a bit plodding almost, but I love Kortedala and the songs from that album were great. & the new song which he made available for download was good too. Would have loved to have seen 'I'm Leaving You Because I Don't Love You', and it would have been good if The Opposite Of Hallelujah was played in the standy up dancing bit. Nice encore singalong too!

There was a slight lull with new songs. I'd hesitate to assess at this stage, they weren't of a style which is going to come across particularly immediately. And new songs live are almost always a little difficult to translate.
